War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunshine again this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — there was deep fog earlier but burned off and we found ourselves with a nice autumn day, with warmish temperatures stoked by cool, wimpish breezes. In this region and for the time, about as good as it gets. However, can’t be said for that…
A bit of sunshine finally this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — an emotional good swing from the thick ‘radiation fog’ that’s been enveloping the valley for days on endless days. Sun is happy. Meanwhile, far back east in DC, Paul Gosar was censured today by the House and removed from committee assignments…
Fog again this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — tule gloom thick and depressing. After days of this shit, life seems to be a little sadder and ominous than even in the thinnest sunshine, which after a certain time seems farther and farther away. Whining, I know, but what the shit? Also in…
Putting aside the dismal, depressing political/environmental/pandemic news cycle for a minute or two and making time and room for another Sunday serenade, this time with the one-and-only, John, Paul, George, and Ringo — four names carrying a single title that really, really does go without saying. But we will — The Beatles. Probably the best-known, and…
Deep, wet fog this near-mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a yearly staple for the region, tule fog, which can get thicker-than-shit. However, like a lot of other environmental phenomena nowadays, tule fog is slowly vanishing — when I lived here in the mid-1980s, the fog lasted months, but now it’s down to…
UPDATE Below: As the law reaches for the fat-neck of the T-Rump, his lawyers filed a request this morning for a momentary stay of the order issued on Tuesday to allow T-Rump’s records to be released to the House committee investigating Jan . 6 by tomorrow evening, and no asshole holds about it. However, T-Rump…
Despite the motion of prosecuting the T-Rump and his cronies moving quickly forward, the legal ramifications of ignoring the due process of law have so far been a wash. And despite, too, the ruling last night from a federal judge that T-Rump’s White House records can/and must be handed over to the Jan. 6 committee,…
Dark overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — rain maybe tonight and in the morning. Barack Obama spoke today at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, and despite being enthusiastically applauded, even he sounded a bit pessimistic, though, history was working against him. Obama’s appearance marks the years: Global views of…
Couple of important, and deadly news stories this Monday morning (among a shitload, I know), which paint a terrible future. First and most immediate — COVID is now indeed a Red beast: (Illustration: Source: New York Times database, Edison Research; and found here). A real, hardcase reason we’ll seemingly never get rid of COVID, at…
Overcast with a chilly breeze this later-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — another day in the life. On the weekend and the power-slot news is brisk and mostly empty of substance — the following are just a few items of interest I spied while doomscrolling through the Interwebs. Just about everything sucks —…
